1 1 MASTERY (CC176) A Delpech B-/TT 4Ls off pace when 2-wide in 6th at 1100 M, closer when 3-wide taking home turn, picked up well to lead 150 M out, won comfortably.
2 10 WATCHMAN (CB327) H K Yim B/SR Had the run of the race on fence in 3rd 2Ls off pace until home turn, 1L down in 3rd at 200 M, one-paced in the finish but still managed 2nd.
3 11 MILLION SUCCESS (CE158) W M Lai B Checked at start, 2-wide at 1000 M when 6Ls off pace in 10th, 5Ls down and 3-wide swinging for home, stayed on fairly well for a place.
4 3 CHERISHED (CB160) F Coetzee P 4Ls off pace on fence in 7th at 1100 M, same entering stretch when tight for room, stayed on at same pace only.

10 5 COTTON BALL (CD327) C Munce -- Inconvenienced by loose horse early on, within half a length of pace in 2nd from 1000 M to home turn when hard ridden, 2Ls down in 5th at 200 M, faded markedly thereafter.
11 4 DANSKE VERY MUCH (CD394) G Mosse CP-/SR/TT- Never travelled well, keen with head up at 1000 M when 3-back on fence 3Ls behind lead in midfield, under pressure to lie up at 600 M and into stretch, dropped out.
